Bouvard on Power, Resentment, and Trump Discourse

By Dennis Bouvard

Plain text

Take, say, 100 accounts and follow their fluctuations regarding Trump over the years. You could turn this into a study of the dialectic of power and resentment. It would be like following a devout person's negotiations with God but in a way that leaves a historical record.

@slooperbia50068 I reserve judgment, allowing for events to unfold.

@slooperbia50068 The article doesn't deny they are drug boats. I don't think Trump or any of the officials involved will face a murder rap, but we can wait and see. I suspect the writer's lust for vengeance will go unsated.

@slooperbia50068 He's treating it like a war situation. Drugs are being brought in that kill Americans. Why do they continue to do it?

@slooperbia50068 What two killing of Americans are you referring to?

@slooperbia50068 I see. Trump wasn't president for most of that.

@slooperbia50068 Maybe he decided it was time to stop it.

@slooperbia50068 I don't know but there have been suggestions floated about a war with the cartels in Mexico.

@slooperbia50068 I really don't know. At this point I'm along for the ride.
